Route 82 bike path at Unionville approved

EAST MARLBOROUGH — Officials have agreed to fund the final design of a 1.1-mile bike path and two miles of sidewalk along Route 82, from the Landhope store to the roundabout outside of Unionville.

The vote last week was 3-2 with supervisors Weer and Hicks opposing it.

Traffic Planning and Design had submitted a revised proposal, providing for a not-to-exceed amount to fully complete the design; TP&D proposed $48,750, with $35,000 due as the work proceeds, and an additional $13,750 to be paid as impact fees become available.
